how He saved me, how He raised me
how He filled me with the Holy Ghost
how He healed me to the utter-most
when I think about the Lord...
how He picked me up and turned me around
how He set my feet, on solid ground.
It makes me wanna shout;
"HALLELUJAH!!!, thank you Jesus,
Lord you're worthy of all the glory
And all the honour, and all the praise!!!!!!!"
Hallelujah! everything i was hoping for...from this retreat
ultimately, through the POWER of prayer...
the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, our MIGHTY God answers prayers!!!!!!
oh how true it is how POWER is fueled by PRAYER!!
so many brothers and sisters ..including my own sister and my roomate being saved and recommiting their lives to Christ this weekend! PRAISE THE LORD!!! oh how my heart was overflowing with so much joy..and I know all the angels in heaven were rejoicing with me too ! Hallelujah!
so this weekend...mm it really confirmed in my heart that it is through faith and obedience to our Lord, Jesus Christ, that He will pour out and annoint us with the Holy Spirit..as He promised!
"Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit..." Ephesians 1:13
>> Spirit of promise. Spirit of faith. Spirit of grace. Spirit of wisdom. the Holy Spirit.
mm..so this retreat was very different from the many other retreats i've been to, but very special to me...mmm time spent with small group JOY..was truly a blessing. beyond imagination of how much fruit a small group can produce when we open up...mmm deep intimate fellowshiping. ..just beautiful! but yaa..spent the rest of my free time..reflecting, reading, praying, journaling and gazing upon the beauty of our Lord..couldn't have asked for more!! on saturday morning...went on an adventure..and came across this big gigantic tree. and i still remember thinking... how firmly it stood on solid ground..oh the sight of it was truly beautiful.. surrounded by a white blanket of snow. but then, it reminded me of Psalm 1...mm brings me back to childhood.. something my grandma used to read to me and my sister in korean every wednesday during our mini night services in her bedroom..us being totally clueless..hehe oh i still remember those days^^ ...."He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. WHATEVER he does prospers..." and the song from OneThing stirred up..."unmovable, unshakeable...let my roots go down deep...I'm like a tree..planted by the streams, of living water....." and soon realized that even through the harshness and coldness of winter, it stood there, firm, roots deeply planted..it was simply unshakable, unmovable.,and it reminded me that when we trust and take delight in the Lord..meditating on Him day and night..our spirits will not wither but remain firmly grounded in the truth.. :)

"There are three components necessary for the power of the Word to live in us. First, we use our choice to pursue God with a spirit of obedience, faith and loving devotion. Second, we feed our heart continually on the Word through meditation. Third, we need the activity of the Spirt to turn meditation into living revelation to save or deliver us from sinful desires. We must fellowship with the Holy Spirit by talking to Him..."
And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive. Matthew 21:22
"we become a people of one thing as we seek to receive spirit of revelation in order to see the beauty of Jesus through His Word, and as we seek to receive power to be wholehearted lovers of God..."
